What people are saying about the School of Trout

"Is dad a trout fisherman? Does he want to become one? I can't think of a better way to either learn the sport or enhance existing skills than getting a Masters degree with the folks at the School of Trout. The school, which offers both a basic and advanced class, is held in one of the most hallowed trout settings in the world: The banks of the Henry's Fork in Idaho. The ‘classes’ include seminars on trout behavior, equipment, knots, casting and hooking and releasing fish. And the professors? This might be the best thing about the school.”

"Guide, author, and Conservation Hawks lead man Todd Tanner is the School of Trout’s creator and headmaster. It’s a weeklong school that will allow students to dive into the sport of fly fishing under the instruction of some notable faculty members, including Orvis’ Tom Rosenbauer (who’s taught millions to fish through his best-selling books), legendary angler Craig Matthews, artist Bob White (one of the newest additions to the TROUT magazine team), author/activist/guide Hilary Hutcheson, and my long-time buddy/photographer extraordinaire, Tim Romano (who took that photo of me scuba diving in a trout river for a Field & Stream story)… as well as others."

"The mission is straightforward: help students dramatically improve their skills and grow their passions for angling by fully immersing in a course created and led by a cadre of recognized professionals who have fished near and far, and who have worked for years to grow the sport and protect its resources."

"A new, week-long fly fishing school, founded by longtime Sporting Classics fly fishing columnist Todd Tanner and boasting some of the biggest names in the fly fishing world, will debut this October in Last Chance, Idaho."

"Until recently there wasn’t an exceptional fly fishing school where passionate anglers could sign on for an entire week; where they could talk to, and learn from, the finest instructors in the world … Though it doesn’t come cheap—a week at the School of Trout will run you about as much as a trip to Alaska—you can spend time on one of the finest rivers in America and learn from some of the world’s most acclaimed fly fishing instructors."
